I started filling a case up, but then realized that the deals weren't all that spectacular and I'd rather just assemble a case at my local wine store, which--like yours, probably--also often has closeouts. So, pass.

Or maybe this is like Ty's "Winemaker's Cuvee" CS that has shown up at WTSO repeatedly. That offering has struck me as a situation where Ty has advanced his prices so far that he's wound up with inventory he needs to find a way to clear out.

With this offering his distributor is stuck with inventory that isn't moving and clears it out. Or Ty pulls it back from the distributor and flips it to WTSO. By getting the wine out of circulation and moving it via a flash site, he isn't undercutting his distributor and his winery price is the only price that will show up at winesearcher.

This one actually was labeled as Tytanium, so it should be the exact same wine Ty is selling as Tytanium.

With his price increases of late, I wonder if he pushed the prices up on this a bit too high which allowed WTSO to swoop in and swallow up the inventory. Too bad it didn't go to Woot.

With all the MM I've picked up, this isn't one of them. Not much in the way of tasting notes but what there are make it sound pretty fruity. In SD so it may take awhile to swap, but tempted if no one else is closer.
